Itworks quite well actually . The coldest days was usually the most sunny. So it done me a lot of good . I can improve it with some insulation. But Never insulated it . It was just a trial . I had a good bit of old window screens . So i put them to use.

Easy and inexpensive is my favorite type of project, especially when it actually works in the end! Nice job.

Did you use sun-tuf panels or another brand? I love that stuff.

It was easy . My first time i ever really built anything with wood . I cant remember the brand I think it was called tuftex. When i build another one . I will add insulation and have some sort of a blower for the summer time to funnel the hot air out instead of it being blowed in the house . I took down the dryer vent hose so it just blows on the porch.
